Esther Phillips - You've Been A Good Ole Wagon

Copied!
Listen here, Daddy
I want to tell you, please get out of my sight
I'm tryin' to tell you it's quits now, I'm goin' on this very night
You've had your day, so don't sit around and frown
You've been a real old good wagon, oh baby, but you done broke down

When the sun is shinin', you know it's time, time to make hay
Automobiles operate, but you just can't make, you just can't make that wagon pay
When you were in your prime, oh you loved, oh you loved to run around
You've been a real good good wagon, well, but honey, honey let me tell you, you done broke down

There's no need to cry, plеase don't, please don't makе a big show
This man has taught me more about lovin' than you will ever know
Lord, lord, he is the king of lovin', yes with a double crown
He's a real good wagon, Daddy, and believe me, he ain't broke down

Now, you better go the blacksmith shop and try to get yourself overhauled
I'm tryin' to tell you, there's nothing 'bout you that can make a good woman like me fall
I tried to tell you, tried to tell you nobody wants a baby when a real man, sure enough man, I mean one of them real men can be found
Hate to tell you, you've been a real good wagon, but nothin' lastss forever, Daddy, Daddy, you done broke down

Biography

Esther Phillips (born Esther Mae Jones, December 23, 1935, Texas – died August 7, 1984, California) was an American soul and blues singer who was an influence on many other artists including Aretha Franklin.
At age fourteen, she won an amateur talent contest in 1949 at the Barrelhouse Club owned by Johnny Otis. Otis was so impressed he added her to his traveling revue, the California Rhythm and Blues Caravan, billed as ‘Little Esther Phillips’.
Her first hit record was “Double Crossing Blues” (#1 R&B), recorded in 1950 for Savoy Records. She had another two #1 plus four top 10 hits in 1950. Few artists, R&B or otherwise, have ever enjoyed such success in their debut year.
By the mid-50ies she was ill due to drug abuse. In 1962 Phillips got well enough to launch a comeback. She recorded a country tune, “Release Me,” with producer Bob Gans. This went to number 1 on R&B listings. Her cover of The Beatles' song “And I Love Him” nearly made the R&B Top Ten in 1965 and The Beatles flew her to the UK for her first overseas performances.
During the 1970’s she scored an international hit with “What A Difference A Day Made”. Phillips died in 1984, at the age of 48 from liver and kidney failure.
